Sheffield Hallam University (S21)

UCAS code: S21

Sheffield has all the excitement of a major city but the friendliness of a small town. The university and students' union work together to enhance the student experience; your employability is at the top of our agenda. We have lots of societies, sports clubs and volunteering opportunities, plus the largest number of students in Britain on courses with a year's paid work placement.

  Placement is difficult, especially when you have to repay any days as a result of illness. So if you are absent a week due to flu, you need to try and fit an extra week of placement to make up. My course doesnt like you to experiment with the field outside of the expected subjects. They don’t support you on electives that are not absolute to the course. Varied assigments and computer based exams which are good.
